School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 1-Monday is Library Day and Fancy Nancy is thrilled that she gets to pick out a book ("It is like getting a present for a week!") and write a report about a real person. She chooses Sacajawea, ".a princess [who] lived two hundred years ago out West." Somehow, however, Nancy is only able to concentrate on the artistic masterpiece she creates for the cover of her assignment, and leaves herself time to write a report of only two sentences before falling asleep. The girl needs a true heroine to come to the rescue when she presents her report, and her understanding teacher rises to the occasion. The text contains short sentences, an easy-on-the-eyes font size, and plenty of white space. New "fancy" words are defined throughout the text and in a glossary. This artistic endeavor is accompanied by the expected colorfully detailed illustrations. A welcome addition for independent readers.-Mary Elam, Learning Media Services Plano ISD, TX (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Horn Book Review

This series continues its good-natured dressing-down of the picture-book diva. In Report, Nancy neglects her Sacajawea book report's content because she's preoccupied with its cover. In the less satisfying Expert, the bouquet she picks for her teacher's surprise birthday party contains the dreaded itch-causing plant. Nancy's definitions of "fancy" words (plume, remedy) appear in the texts and in concluding glossaries.
